1. The Lord’s Prayer is to be seen as an attitude and a pattern of approach in our prayer. The first words in the first line are “Our Father.” What is Jesus implying by using “Our”?
2. What does “Our” mean for our interactions with non-believers? What does this mean for our interactions with each other as fellow disciples of Christ, belonging to the same Heavenly Father?
3. Jesus uses the words "Our Father" in this passage, a word of close familiarity and family. What is Jesus saying about our relationship with God when he encourages us to pray to our Father? What does this say about God’s desire for us? What does it say about our identity?
4. See Luke 15:17-24 regarding the prodigal son. How does this parable reflect the nature of our relationship with God?
5. How does, or should, the church prefigure our heavenly joy as a family?
6. How will you pray to change your attitude towards people and towards God?
